I wish America Wanted to be Great

Is America Great?

No, America is disappointing 

America was won by genocide.

And since Americas beginning, we have had evil making decisions

Police "to protect and serve"

I've never been protected by a police officer, have you?

Yes they risk their lives but anyone worried about losing their life will worry in any profession

How can we see a police officer walk into a classroom and without saying a word grab and choke and beat a 14 year old black boy and say 

We don't know the whole story 

Or even believe such action was warranted. 

What twilight zone world is this where we even see videos of police beating little black boys? Or killing them? Or killing men running for their lives?

Where is the law protecting people, or Children, from police?

Why does a 5'10, 150 pound black man with his hands up get punched in the face by a cop who is so frustrated he can't do anything but physically harm somebody. 

Why did that black man, with his face now to the ground, get stomped on by another cop not two minutes later?

There are racists in the police force, and one is far too many.

The fact that one American can point the finger at everyone but the officer, gives you your answer. 

America is not great. 

The people that represent America do not represent people. 

The people that represent America are servants to money. 

The people that represent America allow themselves to be listed next to drug lords on a Forbes list. 

The people that represent America kill anyone who gets too big of a voice. 

The people that represent America called MLK a disgusting pig and assassinated him

The people that represent America call its citizens names and torment them for wanting to help.

Why do we have endless money for war and not endless money to help lives guarantee sovereignty?

Because the people in charge of the worlds money make sure we are contained, maintained, & afraid 

You can fight for freedom until it threatens the people truly in charge. 

You can eat "healthy" but you can not eat food untouched by poison made to kill 

You can drink water, but don't expect it to cleanse or be free of carcinogens 

Not in America

The UN will help you, but it will also allow your child to be stolen for sex trafficking

The "peace troops" may even rape you, if you're a child expecting to be aided by such a great group

And what happened when this was reported?

The man that came forward got fired. That's it. 

America is not great it is obsessed with looking great on the outside  

But what is inside is as evil as the most monstrous atrocities you can imagine.

Thats America, not really worried about you or your life, just it's image & money
